This is my last of 10 new Crockpot recipes I tested and mastered* (got to be done twice to make sure the first time wasn't a flook before it's considered 'mastered'!!) - ticking off that particular item in my 2012 manifesto. Seems kind of surprising that I only managed 10, but anything that had been done before couldn't count! We now have 10 great recipes to add to our little repetoire!!
